I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN INTO THE OCCULT

 

I have always been into the occult

I think the spirits interest me the most

So, the Paralympics disappointed me

Because I didn’t see a single ghost

PROUD FATHER OF THE PARALYMPICS

Professor Sir Ludwig "Poppa" Guttmann

 

How proud would Ludwig be?

If he could only see

The oak tree that has grown

From his tiny acorn sown

 

As a Jew he was no stranger

To prejudice and its danger

He had seen the Nazi storm

And they’re concept of the norm

He saw how disabilities lead

To the slaughter shed

So he fled to London

And his work was begun

 

How proud would Poppa be?

If he could only see

The fruits of his endeavours

To change the view forever

Of people written off

“Only cripples?” he would scoff

 

He was a tour de force

And single minded of course

Who didn’t see freak show exhibits

But challenges to the human spirit

 

How proud he would have been

If he could have only seen

When Paralympians, each and every one

Out shone the September sun

OLYMPIANS V PARALYMPIANS

 

The Olympics is the pinnacle

For any man and woman

But I believe that an Olympian

Is actually merely Human

Whereas a Paralympian

Is quite obviously Superhuman

DISABILITY SPORT

 

They may well be considered

In life to have a Vulnerability

But where sport is concerned

They have no such disability

 

So, calling it “Disability Sport” 

Couldn’t be more misleading

When the limits they are given

They are constantly exceeding

 

Don’t look at them as disabled

But as sportsmen and women

Because in the arena of sport its

As athletes you should define them

PARALYMPIANS

 

They should not be seen as disabled

When they compete

A Paralympian should be viewed

Simply as an Athlete

WELL NOW THE PARALYMPICS ARE OVER

 

Well now the Paralympics are over

The call is coming loud and clear

To accommodate those unfortunates

Whose disadvantages were just too severe

For them to be able to compete

So following a simply inspired idea

Next summer on the sporting Calendar

A brand new event will appear

To accommodate the unfortunates

When the “Essex Games” begin next year
